That being said I agree that IF he is granted a waiver and allowed to play, that will set a terrible presendence for other players that get into trouble and head to a different program to avoid punishment or time off the field. What’s a real injustice is even though he wasn’t charged he has a history of making questionable choices and to excuse that and let him play would not benefit him character wise in the long run…

I get it that D-1 sports is big $$ these days. I even get it that everyone should be given a second chance. DGB was given every opportunity at MIZZOU to make better choices and prove that he could stay out of trouble. We all know how that turned out. What ever happened to tough love. The best thing that could happen to this young man is to sit out this season and show that he has matured and has learned a valuable lesson. If he stays out of trouble and follows team policy, then reinstate him in a year. Can’t really blame OU this kid is a stud. If the NCAA will let them get away with it, why not.

Personally, I don’t think he should be eligible to play next year. He should have to sit out as per transfer rules. He was removed from Missouri’s team because of his actions and there should be some sort of consequence instead of just being given a free pass at another program.

All that being said, it’s more a matter of when he does something stupid again rather than if.
